Re: Actions Speak Louder

Owen's eyes widened and he stared at the queen, then to Mira. "W-We're married!" He grinned broadly. "Thank you so much! I will definitely make sure we visit! I'm not sure that we can thank you enough though..."

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 2:04 pm

"Thank me by keeping in touch... I want our children and future generations to always be close." Amiah stepped back a little, "Do not fear to come see me if you need anything, we will always be glad to help."

Miranda nodded, "We'll remember that." She smiled softly, "Thank you again... and again."

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 2:58 pm

Owen nodded and pulled Mira even closer to him. "I need to finish the house, but I'm still..." OWen's voice trailed off as he came to the realization that he was no longer sick. "I... I'm not sick anymore!"

"Yes, we healed the both of you while you slept."

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 3:03 pm

"Now you can finish the house!" Miranda hugged him tightly again, "We'll finally have a home! This means the world to us, thank you so much... what about Elsia?"

"She no longer knows your whereabouts. Your home is close to fairy territory, she will never see you again."

Miranda was stunned, "I see. I understand."

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 3:13 pm

"Never again..." Owen couldn't help but smile. "Thank you so much... I've never felt so blessed." He pulled Mira into his lap and rested his head on her shoulder. I have my love close to me, and I know she will always be safe. This is a wonderful gift."

"Yes... but in return, I want you to make sure Draco finds a mate... and that you and your family visits us every year for our firefly festival." The queen smiled warmly.

"Yes! Of course!!"

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 4:14 pm

"I can't wait, we'll make sure he does." Miranda blushed, "We'll return soon!"

A few days later, Miranda sat outside watching her love work on the house, every ache he felt would pinch at her muscles and she kept cringing. It felt good to be alive... but the pains weren't always pleasant. She stood up and tried to find something to do to help him when she remembered - curtains! She grinned and got out her fabric to work.

Moments later she stabbed her finger with a needle.

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 4:52 pm

"WAH!" Owen's finger pinched just as he was hammering a nail into a board. The hammer slipped, and he hit his thumb, falling over in the dramatic, unexpected pain.

"Bah, you don't have to whine." Draco rumbled, a bit annoyed to be pulled out of sleep by Owen screaming.

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 4:54 pm

Miranda stabbed her finger again when she was shocked by the other rounds of pain from her thumb. "EEEK!" She cried, flopping into the thick grass beneath her. "OOOOW!!!!"

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 4:55 pm

"AHHH!" Owen's cries grew louder, and Draco sighed heavily.

"Oh, come on... it isn't that bad..."

"You try getting your finger stabbed, then smooshed, then stabbed again!!"

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 4:57 pm

Miranda felt terrible for that happening to him, it had to be hard and yet he didn't get angry with her... but she hadn't talked to him yet. She got up to go comfort him, ignoring the soreness she felt - would he snap at her?

"I'm sorry." Miranda said meekly, "I'll be more careful."

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 7:54 pm

Owen was frowning at Draco, but then he turned to Mira and grinned lovingly. "Don't worry about it!" He took her hand and pulled her into his arms where he began to kiss her here and there. "I love you so much, I'm not mad at you... I was just frustrated with Draco telling me it wasn't that bad."

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 7:56 pm

Miranda was relieved that his angry frown wasn't for her and she fell into his warm hug. "I was worried for a moment that this might be too much for you. I'm sorry." She couldn't seem to stop apologizing lately.

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 8:00 pm

"No... don't worry about it. It's just fine." He smiled happily then. "Oh, look... I almost have the roof finished. Then we can sleep inside while I work on the other rooms."

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 8:15 pm

"It's pretty. I can't wait... we haven't shown our marriage yet..." Miranda smiled, she knew he couldn't hurt her... he wasn't her first.

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 8:21 pm

Owen's cheeks turned a bright red, but his smile never faltered. "Tonight, then! I will have the roof finished by then, and we shall celebrate!" He kissed her neck, and sighed heavily. He really had trouble holding himself back, but he didn't want to get her pregnant when the house wasn't at all finished. But by that night... he figured it'd be close enough.

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 8:52 pm

"Alright, I'll make some lunch for you in a little while then!" Miranda gasped at his surprising kiss and when he was gone, she rubbed it gently, it still tingled every time he kissed.

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 8:54 pm

"Ohhh! Lunch!!" Owen grinned happily and glanced back at her. "Your cooking rivals even the king's chef. I'm so blessed."

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 9:19 pm

"The king? Oh... you've had quite a long life... I forgot for a moment." Miranda blushed slightly and then looked at Draco, he hadn't said a word in a little while. "Are you okay?"

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 9:22 pm

Draco looked a bit flustered, but he cleared his throat and nodded. "Y-Yes, I was just thinking... maybe... maybe it would be nice to have a mate someday."

"WHAT?!" Owen exclaimed and ran back to the door to see Draco again. "Are you serious?! Your hatchlings would be the most beautiful and powerful... ever!"

"Hmm... yes. Yes, I know..." Draco seemed pleased with that.

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 9:58 pm

"I hope you find a mate then... we're in fairy, dragon territory, so maybe soon!" Miranda replied happily, "I can't wait to see your babies, they'd be wonderful!"

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:08 pm

"Hmm... I hope so too..."

"Don't worry too much about that. You'll find a lady, Draco." Owen walked out, carrying a long board. "Please lift me up to the roof."

Draco nodded and helped Owen up, then sighed again. "Are you certain? I am old, and my scales don't shine as much as they used to."

"Isn't that just because you haven't let me give you a good scrub in a while?" Owen laughed. "I should scrub you this afternoon!"

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:11 pm

Miranda gasped, "Maybe once he gets a bath, he can shine and attract a pretty lady dragon!" She sounded eager as she stood up and prepared the bathwater from the stream close by. "DRAACO! Bath time!"

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:19 pm

"Huh?!" Draco's head raised, and Owen began to laugh.

"Hah! Best not try and avoid it! You know you can't say no to Mira!" Owen was laughing really hard.

"Hrrrmph. Well, I'll be sure to sparkle blindingly in your direction, Owen."

**Ikuar** Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:23 pm

Miranda got the soapy water ready and began to scrub him down, the pain in her muscles seemed non-existent while she worked and it turned into a fun game of pouring water and soup all over Draco. He had been so dirty, it was ridiculous!

**Jayrin** Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:28 pm

"I'm sparkling a lot more..." Draco seemed to be a bit in awe. "Mira, you are good at this! OH. OH!" A wad of mud, dirt, and grass that Mira plucked from between two of his scales plopped on the ground, and the dragon shuddered happily. "That's been bothering me for months..."
